Question:
What is the ruling on speaking ill of the honor of Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him)?
Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. Mu'awiyah was a noble Companion and the Commander of the Faithful, and the Muslims saw nothing from him but good. It is not permissible to speak ill of a noble Companion and the Commander of the Faithful, from whom nothing came but good and standing against the innovators. Yes. Standing against the Khawarij, yes.
